Probably normal: Everybody has genital itching from time to time. The main thing is to make sure there's no visible rash (redness, etc), and to see a doctor if there is, or maybe first try an OTC treatment for jock itch. If no rash, use good hygiene, i.e. shower and wash with soap and water once a day and keep the area dry; in a warm climate or if overweight, maybe with talcum powder or cornstarch.
